Chapter 86 You’re the Blind One

“As the fiancé of the Quine family’s daughter or as my ex–husband?” Grace spoke each word carefully.

“Think for yourself. Which identity makes you qualified?”

Benjamin was taken aback, realizing he had crossed a line.

He was the least qualified person to ask such a question, as he was now choosing an engagement ring with someone else.

At once, Benjamin walked to Yvonne’s side. “Let’s go.”

Yvonne’s eyes gleamed with triumph. “But we haven’t picked a ring yet.”

“We can go somewhere else.”

Yvonne quickly followed him and looped her arms around his before saying softly, “Wait for

me.”

After they left, the smile on Grace’s face faded.

“Are you still upset?” Caleb looked at her.

“If you say another word, I’ll tell Aaron that you’re bullying me,” Grace threatened.

Caleb quickly begged for mercy. “Please don’t. Aaron asked me to take care of you. I’ll be in trouble if you tell him that.”

When they returned to Lewis Manor, Timothy had been sitting in the living room for a while.

Seeing the two with shopping bags in their hands, he said pitifully, “Milady, why didn’t you invite me before you went shopping with Caleb?”

Caleb and Timothy had known each other since childhood, and they always seemed to be at odds. But it was mostly Caleb bullying Timothy.

Caleb disliked Timothy since they had been children because the latter had once said Grace was ugly. Because of that, he’d had to tell Grace that she wasn’t ugly but extremely beautiful.

“I only found out the news because it’s trending online. I came here right after I got off the plane.” Timothy leaned on the couch, looking exhausted from

“How’s the project going?” Grace adopted a professional tone.

His workload was indeed heavy since he had been working on an overseas project.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Lewis.” Timothy smiled. “I’m at home now. Let’s not talk about work.”

“If she doesn’t talk to you about work, what else would she talk about?” Caleb threw a pillow at Timothy. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“We can talk about dreams and life. Of course, they’re nothing compared to your public proposal stunt in a jewelry store.”

Timothy showed his phone screen. “Look. It’s trending with different kinds of hashtags.”

“Aren’t your female fans going to attack milady?”

“Don’t worry. My fans will love Gracie.” Caleb rolled his eyes at Timothy.

Suddenly, Timothy seemed to have stumbled upon something interesting. “My goodness, is Ben going to get engaged to Yvonne?”

Smacking his l*ps, he shook his head. “Everyone in my bro circle is saying that he’s marrying a rich wife this time.

“But I think he’s blind for letting go of milady, the billion–dollar gold mine. Such a shame!”

He would definitely not tell Benjamin the truth. Secrets like these should be used to catch him off guard.

“Aren’t you the blind one?” Grace stared at Timothy with an eerie smile, sending a chill down his spine.

He would never forget that his milady held grudges for a long time.

Of all the things he could have said, he just had to bring this up.

The ultimate reason why Benjamin had gotten the opportunity to steal her was because Timothy had missed his chance with her.

Smiling, Caleb watched the fun from the side and used Timothy’s words against him. “Such a shame!”

After dinner, Timothy leaned against the door with a cheap grin. “There are so many rooms in your house. How about letting me stay here for the night?”

“Get lost!” Before Grace could speak, Caleb sent a kick to Timothy’s butt.

In Quine Group, Benjamin was summoned by Richard to the chairman’s office.

“Yvonne said that you didn’t even want to pick a ring. Is that true?” Richard’s tone was reproachful.

Calmly, Benjamin replied, “I need to reconsider my engagement with Yvonne.”

He hadn’t completely moved on from his previous marriage, and his mind was filled with

Agreeing to the engagement had been an impulsive move. Or perhaps the divorce had been the

same.

At his words, Richard slammed his desk and glared at Benjamin. “You’ve already announced it to the public! How can you change your mind now?”
